The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees met for the first time since the 2024 World Series, and the game proved to live up to the hype coming into the series.

The Dodgers erupted early against the New York Yankees on Saturday en route to a commanding 18-2 victory and a series win. The Dodgers have their first winning week since the first full week of May, where they posted a 4-3 record, and are now a perfect 2-0 on City Connect Saturdays in 2025.

When Judge (who also made a terrific diving catch in the gap) and Ohtani exchanged blows in the first inning, it marked the first time in MLB history that both reigning MVPs homered in the first inning of the same game.
